Another Newbee Hey. Currently I have a 2003 Lancer Evo VIII. I like the car, it's fairly quick...but I am sick to death of the "import culture". SO... Now I'm in the planning phase of a "best of both worlds" car. I will be picking up a 2nd generation Mazda RX7 body and dropping the powermonger LS1/6speed drivetrain into it. There have been many people who have completed this swap using the "kit" from Hinson Supercars so this isn't uncharted territory. I guess the main reasons to do this project is I love the styling of the 2nd gen RX7...and it's wicked light...down to even 2200lbs if stripped down...somewhere around 2500lb in full trim.
Disclaimer: I will most likely be asking a lot of questions. I DO know how to use the search feature and will be wearing it out looking for info.
I am also on the following boards:
Tennesspeed (Slipstream)
Evolution M (Evillusion)
and RX7 Club (Slipstream)
